18 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown Live (Nov 1)
12. Going Head To Head?
Yes, it's time to revisit this old chestnut once again... remember when Vince McMahon announced the brand extension and how RAW and SmackDown would be going head-to-head on everything to television ratings to merchandise sales? Yes?
Well, we all know that this has been proven to be a pack of lies told by the boss, but this week's SmackDown Live took the biscuit.
A three minute promo was aired detailing the RAW exclsuive rivalry between Brock Lesnar and Goldberg. SmackDown set aside three minutes of their show to tell us why something that was happening on their rival's show was more important than the stuff happening on their own.
Baffling. I really need Vinnie Mac to come back and set the record straight on the whole battle between SDLive and RAW. Tell us they're working together for the betterment of WWE, with certain events like Survivor Series, the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania seeing the brands actually going at it in a battle for supremacy.
Stuff like this just doesn't make any sense in the narritive.
